I don't get this, "the South coast needs Premiership football" attitude.
Why?
Silly thing to say. It's merit based. Otherwise Carlisle, Ipswich/Norwich, Plymouth and Dover would always be in the Prem.
About as stupid as the comment that the commentator made at the start of today's FA Cup that people who we are remembering at remembrance Sunday gave their lives so we could enjoy football freely. What a complete "book of 100 top cliches" twonk.
I don't know. Neither do you. Obviously there was a reason. He's not some sort of idiot. His peers, who know about these things, seem impressed. His job was to get a deal acceptable to creditors not fans of SFC, hence the praise for him apparently doing both.
I think the point is that he was part of our touted, by Lowe etc, "golden generation" (my words not his) and ultimately he's just a bog standard Championship player. Same as Mills, same as Cranie, same as Best, same as Blackstock... etc.
are you a skate fan or something?
That's called boxing. If someone is nine inches taller and seven stone heavier than you, you probably aren't going to want to stand toe-to-toe with them.
Well, either religion is "truth" or it isn't. If it isn't it is a construct of the human mind.
Therefore the notion that it's destruction would somehow "free" the human mind is a tad paradoxical IMO. Further, I just don't agree with the more general point that it somehow stifles artistic expression. It may stiffle a few individuals but the true artists have been inspired by it to varying degrees, not curtailed.
Indeed, they are currently in the middle of a nice run of fixtures.
I think they've only played two matches against the "big 4" so far? They need to pick up points in the next few games.
None of you know what you're talking about though do you? (Cue some boring ITKer).
His job was not to get the best deal for Saints it was to get the best deal for creditors whilst allowing the business to continue existing. We don't know the details of Liebherr's purchase. Maybe Pinnacle were offering more. Clearly they could provide proof of funds at some point. If someone buggered off half-way through then that is a risk of the game.
At the end of the day, brinksmanship and big balls are part of his job. He would've only taken it on for the public profile and Begbies wouldn't have got paid properly if it went tits up.
Ultimately, everyone is happy.
